"We need you to work together to review everything," Langford Morris said.

"All videos, audios, text messages -- whatever you've got."

Sabbota, who has been frustrated with delays in forensic testing in the case, maintains that Layne was acting in self defense when she shot Hoffman. He has said the time spent in jail waiting for a trial has been difficult on the grandmother.

Bullets caused eight entry or exit wounds on Hoffman's body. A toxicology report indicated he had synthetic marijuana (Spice or K2) in his system at the time of his death. He was shot just after the arrest of Tucker Cipriano, a Farmington Hills teenager who is accused of beating his father to death with a baseball bat while high on the synthetic drug, which has since been outlawed by Michigan lawmakers.
